Scholarship applications are available at the Community Foundation office and online beginning February 1 of each year.  All applications and required materials are due to the Community Foundation office no later than April 1 of each year. April 1st is an in-office date, NOT a post-mark date. Scholarship applications received before February 1 or after April 1 will not be accepted.

• Review the available scholarships to see which ones you are eligible for. Click here for a complete list of scholarships: Alphabetical List -or- List By School. Our Eligibility Worksheet (available Feb 1st of each year) will also help you identify which scholarships you may be eligible for.
